[QUOTE="MyFriendKita, post: 329977, member: 4888"] I think more people, especially some of our kids, should be aware of the relationship between alcohol, depression, and suicide, especially in people who already have some kind of mood disorder. One of my son's friends had gotten drunk a few times and threatened to kill himself, and of course, no one took him seriously, because he never acted on his threats. They all figured it was just the alcohol talking. Last fall he did the same thing, only he got hold of a gun that time and he did kill himself. My son even said before it happened that S wouldn't do it, he just wanted everyone to feel sorry for him. I can't be sure, of course, but I firmly believe that had he not been drinking, he might still have been suicidal, but I think he would have been able to ask for help. in my humble opinion, the alcohol added into the situation increased his depression and decreased his impulse control.
